keep in mind

I can't believe this warranted a separate thread. Cavs fans, are you serious? Get over yourselves and your complex!

but that commitment seems in their favor since they're the top off. rebounding team in the league. wouldn't that just hinder the spurs?

With a premium defensive rebounder like Tim, that becomes a BIG risk for Cleveland. Remember, Utah was a premium offensive rebounding team, too. A slew of Spurs fast break buckets convinced Sloan to scrap that and get back in transition, marginalizing their offense as a whole.

That's why Pop almost never sends any guards or wings to the offensive glass. It's too high a risk of an EASY basket the other way when, if we get back in transition D, we can make them face our half court defense.

NOBODY picked the CAVS to be Pistons. I mean NOBODY. What I want is people to keep picking against us ( entire nat'l media ), keep saying we're a one man team ( Gibson = 2 big games in the ECF ), we don't deserve to be here ( #1 offensive rebounding team in the league, top 5 defensive team ) and lastly that NO WAY can LeBron domninate a good defensive team by himself ( 48 /7 /9 in game 5 ECF vs DET. )

You're right we've got no shot.

Good luck in the finals and don't forget to order your game 7 tix.

Dear LeFizzle... the Spurs don't need luck. They are just damn good at what they do.. WHICH IS WINNING. To paraphrase Nike's marketing department... "YOU WILL BE WITNESSES."
